"Many times, the strange properties of the primal charm have always been puzzling. Constantly spitting out small sparks of primal energy and changing colors in a completely unstable fasion, the charm's behaviour is unlike anything else, making the primal charm most difficult to use. By encasing the charm in a layer of crystallized thaumium it is possible to calm these bizzarre tendencies, resulting in a much more usable object known as an Aura Core.

Unlike the charm that it was constructed from, an Aura core has had most of the primal energy removed in the crafting process. This leaves Aura cores heavily susceptible to the presence of auras in the enviroment. Tossing one on the ground near a primal crystal cluster and then energizing the crystal cluster with a wand will cause the core to coat itself in an extra layer of crystal, forcing the core to tune to one primal aspect. Six primal cores are possible to make.

Finding a use for the individual primal cores requires making them, and them inspecting them directly."
